My+Narrative

I am standing here I look around and all I can see is bare land. This place is deserted. Then suddenly far away in the distance there are vehicles coming my way. The trucks are tearing up bare land. As they come closer they start swerving around the place like drunken eighteen year olds with no lenses. Within five minutes the trucks were now only a few meters away. I suddenly realised that they were going to dangerous so I made a run for it.

Wow the sunset is beautiful I’d better find a place to rest my head before the place goes completely pitch black. Buzzzzz Buzzz there is an annoying mosquito circling around my head. I can’t remember what happened last night or where I finally rested my head. “ Excuses me um hello. Are you ok?” an unfamiliar voice echoed loudly in my head. My eyes open flickering the sun is beaming and there is a skinny girl staring down at me. “Ahh hello my name is Shelby we found you on the road last night and we pretty much saved your life!” puffed Shelby

“You need to be careful lying around on the road like that as it is not safe **THEY** could come and get you at any time. “She stated “Wait who’s they where are you going. Come back.” I screeched “Come quickly” she replied “I don’t want to I am tired” I snapped “Well if you would like to stay alive I’d come quickly” Shelby spoke in a firm tone I jumped to my feet and sprinted towards Shelby but as I reached her she disappeared know where to be seen. Then suddenly I got pulled into I pitch black place and my life flashed before my eyes. Thinking that I was now dead I heard and whisper in my ear “Are you coming you known we can’t stay here forever” It was Shelby I was alive. We crouched down onto hands and knees and started to crawl through a muddy tunnel. You did not where you were going. It seemed like miles before we came to a small room. The room was lit up by a fire, if you looked around the room

you would find two beds made out of clay. Shelby entered the room and sat down by the hot fire. “You will be staying here from here on in. This you to be my sisters room but she was taken away by the **MEN** and we haven’t seen her since” cried Shelby “Who are the Men?” I asked They are the most violent army force in the whole world they were sent here to fight for us but since the war never started they think they are on vacation and they steal and kill anything that they want or can’t have. It was hard to speak after Shelby told me about her sister as I did not know what to say. A few minutes later Shelby’s mum Pat came in and took Shelby away. Hours went by and Shelby hadn’t returned. My tummy was grumbling and I decided that I would get off my lazy bottom and see what was going on. I went back through the hot and sticky tunnel. Once I had reached the hole where I had fallen down I dug my fingers in to the thick mud and scuttled up the round hole. I had made it up to the top and before getting fully out I peeked to see if the coast was clear. The place was trashed and anything that was valuable was gone. Looking around there was no one to be seen. Minutes went by then I finally realised that the army men could have taken Shelby’s family. I had had to find them as that had saved my live and given me a roof over my head. I got sticks weapons and anything I could get my hands on because I was in for a scary fight. On my journeys I found several people that were keen to help me in the fight against the men. We have now become of big group of people fighting for justice. But I am still scared as they are trained men with guns. My nerves are kicking in and I am not so sure anymore. We have now reached their campsite and Shelby is out side working. Poor girl she is chained up and it looks like the army men have killed the rest of her family. We all got in our places 5,4,3,2 and one “ahhhhhhhh come get me you lazy old men!” I screamed at the top of my lungs All 50 men came running out with there guns. “ATTACK” All of the good people chucked there rock some people realised the bows and others flung dirt with their slingshots. All this time the soldiers were firing the riffles. One by on we defeated the men but they took half the time to kill pretty much all of us. It was one on one and neither of us wanted to die. “Hey if you let my friends go then I will not kill you but say good by to your life otherwise. I could see that the man was nervous and only young. I did not want to kill a man so I thought really hard. Then it came to me I would try find his weakness and use it against him. “Hey do you like spiders?” I said “Um no they are yuck I hate them!” Spoke the solider “Ok well if you do not let my friends go the I will come in the middle of the night and pour millions of poisoness spiders on your and they will eat you to death” I stated “Is that a threat” He asked “You bet and do think I won’t do it because I will!” I replied “Ok you can have your friends but just leave me alone” He cried “Oh I can’t do that unless you and your friends never hurt or bother anyone again” I said “Ok ok just don’t hurt me” He shrieked As I was talking to the man one of Shelby’s family escaped and freed all of the others. They ran off and the army never disturbed them again. By Courtney Adams
